I truly believe that traveling enriches the mind, body & spirit✨🧜🏼‍♀️⛲️

To be a part of another culture; soaking in a completely different way of living and language is so fulfilling. It challenges your mind and broadens your knowledge of what else is out there that we aren’t accustomed to. Like in France, eating a croissant a day is their thing and now, I’m totally down with that way of living! Hehe! But I’m all seriousness, my biggest takeaway from the European culture was how everyone seemed to be outside, just LIVING — walking around everywhere, sitting at outdoor cafes, having picnic lunches by the river, never seeming rushed or frustrated - they were just enjoying the beauty of the day and the company that they were sharing. It was so wonderful to witness. Everyone seemed to move at a slower pace, and it changed my perspective quite a bit. Life IS all about enjoying the beauty of each day, enjoying the people we share our days with, and doing more of what makes our soul happy! So I plan on trying to live a little bit more like that this summer, slowing down when I am able to (which will be challenging because I tend to always be rushing/always on the go!) and enjoying down time with the people I love! .

My mom instilled the travel bug into all three of us at a very young age - my first trip to Europe was when I was 8 years old with my Mom and Brie to visit my brother while he was studying abroad — and to this day, we have always made it a priority to seek adventure and travel as much as possible! Life is short, so I plan on seeing as much of this beautiful world that I possibly can, while I can!🌎💕{And in doing so...I most likely will be finding other fountains around the world to do poses on, while wearing mermaid pants, because... #yolo!}!🤣
